all the kits that i have seen so far only has components for the front... do you guys think that the rear control arms are that of a concern and need to be changed?

ok I'm sold. I need to replace the front CA and TRE. My concern is that any kit off ebay has a fair chance to not be for my a6. I have the 2001 and I'm not sure if its the pre or post change. I have a clunking under load and I'm hoping its just some worn bushings and such

I know there was a bump here on the quality of the groton kit, but I have also found on here that febi makes excellent kits. Any MAJOR reasons to pay twice the price for the febis?
